Address nutritional deficiencies. Cleanse the liver. Opt for prescription treatment. Note that there is no cure.

If you experience any symptoms of anemia, such as persistent fatigue, weakness, pale skin, or shortness of breath, make an appointment with your doctor. It’s important to get a definite diagnosis so that you can treat your condition appropriately. Different types of anemia require different treatments. It’s also important to rule out other conditions that might be causing your symptoms (such as a thyroid disorder or heart disease).  Your doctor will perform a physical exam, which means they will listen to your heart and breathing. They will also check for physical signs of anemia and ask you about other symptoms. Your doctor will also likely draw a small amount of blood to check your blood count. This is a test that counts the number of RBCs and other cells in the blood and check the quality of your RBCs. If the underlying cause of the anemia is not clear, other tests may be ordered.  If you try to donate blood and can’t because you have a low hemoglobin count, see your doctor and ask to be tested for anemia. Before using any supplements to treat your anemia, talk to your doctor about which supplements are likely to help you and in what doses. You should also let them know about any other medications or supplements you are currently taking to avoid potentially dangerous interactions. If you have deficiency anemia, you may need to take your supplements in forms you can’t get over-the-counter. For example, treatment for vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia sometimes involves regular injections of vitamin B-12.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor for a diagnosis if you suspect anemia. Consult with your doctor before trying supplements.

Hard copy dictionaries (rather than online ones) often have standard letters for jobs, for RSVPs, for filing complaints, for various official writings. Dictionaries often have more than just words and their definitions. Some of them have lots of information about the world, usually in the form of various lists. These include geographical information (like maps, countries, cities, capitals, etc.)  Hard copy dictionaries often have different weights and volumes, as well as conversion tables. This can come in handy if you need to convert pounds to kilograms or vice versa. You can also usually find statistics on population in various cities and countries, as well as lists of the flags of different countries, states, provinces, and regions around the world. Many dictionaries also have lists of famous or historical people, which you can peruse. Simply browse a dictionary to enlighten yourself about new words now and then. Open the dictionary up to any page and scan the page for words that are unfamiliar or seem interesting. Pinpoint them, read the definition and try to add the new word to your thinking or talking during the next few days until it becomes a remembered part of your natural vocabulary.  Play the dictionary game with friends. This consists of getting some friends together and a dictionary. The first player looks up a challenging word and uses it in a sentence. The other players have to guess if the use of the word is accurate or an outright fabrication. If a player guesses correctly, it's their turn next. Another dictionary game: Each player chooses a word which should be familiar to the other players, then reads out the dictionary definition. The other players compete to guess the word as quickly as possible - perhaps even shouting out while the definition is still being read. Play Balderdash with a foreign language dictionary. Pick a random obscure word and then have people make up definitions along with having the real definition, having people guess which definition is the "real" one.

TL;DR in English: Use the dictionary to find standard letter forms. Research various facts. Have fun!

Since many of the medical problems associated with MTHFR mutation are connected to folate deficiencies, you might be able to help counteract those problems by consuming more external folate.  Include more folate-rich foods in your regular diet. Good options include spinach, asparagus, chickpeas, beans, and broccoli. Avoid taking folic acid and consider taking a methyl folate supplement on a daily basis, as well. The supplement should provide your body with converted folate it can use to maintain bodily functions. MTHFR deficiencies can make it difficult for your body to naturally eliminate toxins, so you might be able to help your body by undergoing the occasional liver cleanse.  Popular liver cleanses include grapefruit and Epsom salt, cranberry juice, and apple cider vinegar. You can also help cleanse your liver by avoiding foods that hurt the liver, consuming more foods that help the liver, and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. If there are other risk factors that may put your overall health at risk, your doctor may prescribe a stronger supplemental treatment to help provide your body with what it lacks. One of the most common prescription treatments is 5-MTHF supplementation. This is the end product of healthy, normal MTHFR catalytic reactions. Since your body isn't producing enough 5-MTHF, artificial supplementation may help correct some of the problems caused by the deficiency. MTHFR abnormalities are a genetic problem, so no medication, surgery, or other treatment can correct it. Once you know about the problem, though, you can take measures to combat it and reduce your risk of experiencing further MTHFR complications.

Like cats, rabbits lick themselves to self-clean.  However, unlike cats, rabbits cannot vomit so any hairballs your rabbit ingests will stay in its stomach, blocking the stomach exit and causing serious health issues.  Brushing your rabbit regularly can help cut down on the amount of loose fur it ingests, in addition to keeping its fur mat-free.  Short-haired rabbits need to be brushed every three days to prevent hairballs and tangles in their fur.  Long-haired rabbits should be brushed every day.  Use a bristle-brush instead of a metal-toothed brush, as this will be gentler on your rabbit’s skin.  Look for a brush made specifically for rabbits. You can follow up brushing with a rubber grooming tool or another hand-held finishing tool to help get any additional loose hairs.  A damp washcloth will also work to remove loose hairs.  How much your rabbit needs brushed depends on their breed.  As a general rule, the longer the hair, the more often you need to brush. Rabbits shed approximately every three months.  During this time, you’ll generally need to brush your short-haired rabbit once a day and your long-haired rabbit multiple times a day. The rate at which rabbits shed varies.  Some rabbits will shed their coats over several weeks, while others shed it all within a few days.  Pay attention to the shedding patterns of your rabbit and adjust how often you brush them accordingly.  For example, rabbits that shed over the course of several weeks may need brushed only once a day, but rabbits that shed over a few days need to be brushed multiple times per day. Short-haired rabbits don’t usually need their fur trimmed, but long-haired rabbits often do.  If you have a long-haired rabbit, it is a good idea to keep its hair trimmed to one inch in length.  This will help prevent mats and cut down on shedding.  Don’t trim the hair around your rabbit’s feet.  Doing so can cause your rabbit to get sores from a lack of padding. It is suggested that you keep the fur on your long-haired rabbit’s belly and between its legs...

TL;DR in English: Brush your rabbit every two to three days. Brush your rabbit daily when it is shedding. Trim your rabbit’s fur as needed.

These often smell a little funky, and the color can be scary at first, but purple shampoo and conditioner will help keep your hair that striking white color, without developing brassy tones. The concept is similar to when people with blotchy skin use green face powder to reduce the redness of their complexion; because purple is the opposite of yellow, it counteracts those unwanted hues, and keeps your hair looking silver. You can use these once or twice a week. Don’t overdo it – everyday use will give you too strong a hue. This will help keep your hair that pristine white color. Some toners are also purple, like shampoos and conditioners designed for bleached hairs. The application process will be different for different toners, so follow the instructions on the box.  Again, be sure not to overdo it. Touch up with toner every couple of weeks at most. More than that and your color might start to look drab and flat. Consider having this done professionally the first time around if you have never done it before. Your stylist can teach you some tricks to make sure you are comfortable doing it on your own. Bleaching does an incredible amount of damage. It will need to be treated with extra care.  Only wash it a 3 or 4 times a week, and apply a hair mask every time you do.  Blow dry and curl it as infrequently as possible, and use products designed to protect hair from heat when you do. Use only sulfite-free products, to avoid damaging and yellowing your hair.  Once or twice a month, apply liquid coconut oil to the ends of your hair, wrap it in a towel, and let it sit for a few hours.

Whenever you notice someone around you speaking English, try to understand what they’re saying. As you improve your English speaking ability, you’ll be better able to comprehend what people are saying when they’re speaking English to other people.  Native English speakers can sometimes talk really quickly and be difficult to understand. Work to comprehend what they’re saying by paying close attention. Don’t be rude and eavesdrop on someone just because they’re speaking English, but listening to what they’re saying can help you build your English speaking ability. Put on the news or watch a program that uses only English so you can hear how certain words and phrases are used. Go to the movies to watch English-speaking movies. The more you hear the English language, the more natural you’ll sound when you speak it.  Look for news programs such as BBC Worlds, which can be found online as well. Purchase or rent English-speaking movies so you can watch them at home. Select English subtitles so you can see the English translation while you’re watching TV or a movie in your native language. Tune into radio stations that speak English and pay close attention to what people are saying and how they’re saying it so you can work to sound more natural when you speak.

Take a piece of scrap paper big enough that you have plenty of room and write. Write down your name at the top of the page. This will help you see the letters you have to work from. See what kind of words can be spelled using the letters. It can help to look for small words first and start building bigger words from there. For example, say your name is "John Smith." You can spell words like "hit," "sit," and "join" using the letters. It can be hard to keep track of letters when just writing. You may, for example, forget how many S's you have to work with and end up screwing up your anagram. If you have a game like Scrabble or Bananagrams sitting around your house, spell out your name using letters from this game and then arrange them to make anagrams. This can be particularly helpful if you have a longer name. Once you have a series of words written out, try to have some fun. Arrange the words into phrases or create a new name for yourself by rearranging the letters in your own name.  For example, if your name "Megan Brooks," you can rearrange the letters to create the fake name, Mak Borgeson. If your name is "Emily Todd," you can rearrange this into the funny description, "Timely, odd." Some letters are very hard to incorporate into anagrams. Troublesome letters include J, X, Q, and Z. If your name includes these letters, see if you can write your name in a way that omits them.  For example, if your first name is "Nadja", use an initial instead of your full name. If your name is "Nadja Woods," you can try to anagram the name "N. Woods" instead. It's not always possible to omit problem letters, especially if your name starts with something like "Z" or "Q." You may have to use an online anagram generator for help in these cases.

Choose a desiccant. Pick the herbs. Sprinkle 2.5cm/ 1/2 inch of desiccant across the base of a glass or plastic container. Place the herbs onto the desiccant. Remove from the desiccant as soon as they have dried. Use for craft and display projects only.

To finish your skirt, you will need to add the elastic to the waistband. Slide your elastic piece in through the gap that you left in the waistband at the beginning. Then, use your fingers to work the piece through the entire waistband.  It can take a while to work the piece of elastic through the waistband. Attaching a safety pin to the end of the elastic before you insert it into the waistband may help you to pull it through a bit easier. After you have pulled the end of your elastic through the other end of the waistband and it is going all the way around the waistband, sew the two ends of the elastic together. This will secure the elastic in a circle inside of your fabric waistband. After you have sewed the two ends of the elastic together, close the opening in the fabric waistband by sewing the gap closed. After the gap is closed, you can trim away any excess thread and your skirt is ready to wear!

TL;DR in English: Slide elastic into gap in waistband seam. Sew the elastic ends together. Close the open edge of the seam. Finished.

If you're looking for a short bob, start by washing and drying your hair. You may want to add some leave-in conditioner. Comb your hair into a low ponytail at the back of your head. Don't get it too close to your head.  Make sure you comb all the loose hairs and get the hair as straight as possible. Once you've got it combed into a ponytail, pull the elastic an inch or two down. Cut your hair straight across below the ponytail holder. Undo the ponytail. Comb your hair into a high ponytail onto the very top of your head. Once you get it all combed straight, cut across the top, as well, about two inches from the end of your hair.  Comb it out, and you're done. This method works better in front of a mirror that magnifies. That way, you can really see what you're doing. The goal of search and destroy is to just take off what's damaged.  "Dusting" is lighter than a trim, meaning you don't take as much off. Work on small, single sections of your hair at a time. Hold them up to the mirror so you can see which ones are damaged.  Trim off the ends of curls that are damaged. Once you've got all the damaged ends in a section, move on to the next section.  Pin back any area you've already trimmed.

TL;DR in English: Try the 2-cut bob. Try search and destroy with a mirror.

A desiccant is a substance that draws moisture out. Suitable desiccants for herbs include cornmeal, sand, orris root, borax, silica gel and even kitty litter. Silica gel is popular because it is light and won't crush the herbs; it is easily obtainable from craft stores. However, when working with it, wear a mask to avoid breathing in its fumes. Pick when moisture won't affect the herbs or their flowers. Glass and plastic won't create moisture. Keep any flowers separate from one another (not touching). Leaves and petals that are close together will require pulling apart to ensure the desiccant goes in between gaps and dries out every part of the herb.  If the shape of the petals or leaves is important, check for any that get bent out of shape and realign them as you're rearranging the desiccant. You can layer desiccant and herbs if wished; just be aware that the more weight on top, the more the plant matter beneath risks being crushed. This will only take a few days. Desiccant will leave herb leaves and flowers bone-dry and therefore somewhat brittle. To remove desiccant, use a small brush or a camera cleaning bellows to shift desiccant off the plant matter without damaging the plant. Handle with care. Avoid over drying the herbs or they may simply fall apart when handled. The herbs are not suitable for consumption.

The teapot needs to be large enough to hold all your quotes. Depending on how large you write and the number of quotes you've gathered, base the teapot's size on the amount of writing that will be transferred to the teapot.  The quotes will be written using a permanent marker, so check that the teapot material will hold the ink and allow for quick drying. For a standout look, go for white. Otherwise, if you find a dark colored teapot, use reverse (white, metallic or light colored) markers. . Remove any dust or debris before writing on the teapot.  Simply wipe clean with warm, soapy water, rinse with clean water and then dry with a soft cloth. If you're creating this for another person, find a book penned by his or her favorite author and dig up as many quotes as possible. Or, use online quote websites for fasting sorting.  You might even like to ask directly for quotes that your recipient holds dear, in order to make the teapot extra special. It's a good idea to write out or type up the quotes to keep on hand as you create the teapot. You can reference your sheet as you write, making it easier.

This is an absolute must. If you reach out and send someone a message, it's obvious that you're interested. Saying so out loud will only make you look desperate and needy, or insecure. You want to seem like the opposite of that. You want to seem like a mysterious and magnetic personality that she must get to know. In person. Lots of guys launch into compliments and really seem to over-do it. Many women will respond to this, but they're not really interested. If you want to actually get with a girl, start an emotional connection and a conversation, not an empty compliment. Some studies show that when we feel both positive and negative emotions at the same time, there is a kind of magnetic reaction that happens, which is often attraction. A common tactic that works especially well online is to gently and kindly tease a woman while you're chatting via text, email, or IM, about something. Just be friendly and joking with a woman. Don't be flat-out mean. There's a difference between saying something gently teasing, "That picture of you on a horse makes me scared you're going to out-drink me and shoot me in the chest with your six gun. But I don't know if you have that in you..." and saying something like, "A woman who likes horses. Typical." That's not funny, or charming. Pick something in her profile, or something that you notice about her in a picture and start there. Never start a chat with nothing but, "hey" or "what up." That doesn't give you any spark. You're going to get nowhere starting a conversation with nothing. If you can't find anything you want to say other than, "Jeez you're hot and I'd love to hang out," lead with a silly or random question to get talking about something more interested: "I'd like to say something more interesting, but I'm a little stunned by your picture. To get around this, I have to ask: If you had twenty minutes left on earth, what would you do first?" Ask questions to get a woman talking, flirting comfortably, and being comfortable with you.

What is motivating you to get into the practice of raising crops and/or animals and leaving the urban area where, usually, more money is to be made without having to work so hard for it? Any kind of farming involves a lot of hard work, it takes huge amount of responsibility, and is not the kind of venture that you will get rich quick on, if at all. Farming is a way of life, and also a business that gives you less of a financial "reward" for all the hard work you have to do throughout the year. But, the emotional and spiritual reward you get can be accounted for more than the paycheck you get at the end of the year. The industry is, for the most part, steeped in tradition. If you've never farmed in your life nor have any agricultural experience to bring to the table, and yet you still want to become a farmer, you may run into some individuals who are more skeptical of your future endeavor than you wish. But, do not let this bring you down, as there are many people who will embrace your goals and want to help out as much as possible. You will be surprised at how helpful a lot of farm people can be with the new farmers that want to learn as much as possible! Remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. However, don't be discouraged or lead yourself to feel slightly offended if someone is more blunt and forward with some of their advice and/or criticisms of what you intend to do and how to do it than you expected. Those farmers that have been in the business for decades have been-there and done-that, and will give you as much advice as you ask for, and even a few stories here and there. Be open to possibilities, listen well, and don't try to argue on something that they have known to work for them for the last umpteen years. Especially, talk to various farmers to get a better understanding of what to expect with what you are doing and the locale you intend to start a farm in. In most cases there are two main categories of agricultural production to choose from: Crops, seed or grain production (oilseeds,...

TL;DR in English: Decide why you're interested in farming. Choose what farm enterprise[s] you would like to get into. Visit with some experienced farmers. Research as much as you can. Attend informational or continuing-education sessions or classes on the sector of your interest. Consider having to move.

Larger female dogs take a bit longer than males to mature. Female huskies aren't ready to breed until they are 2 years old or older. Don't breed her until she has her second heat cycle. She'll probably have her first heat cycle at 5 to 7 months, but her body isn't mature enough for breeding at that time. Male dogs are mature after about 6 months. The stud dog only needs to perform one job (getting the bitch pregnant), but the bitch must carry the puppies to term and care for them when they are young. A calm female dog is more likely to be a good mother to the pups. Using a female with an aggressive temperament can result in unhealthy or aggressive puppies. If maintaining a pure husky bloodline is important to you, both dogs should be registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), the Continental Kennel Club (CKC) or the United Kennel Club (UKC).  Both dogs need to be registered with the same club in order for the puppies to be eligible for registration. Research the bloodlines of both dogs to learn about potential health problems or temperament issues. Try running a Google search using key words like "husky bloodlines" and "breeding husky bloodlines." You can also visit http://siberian-husky-bloodlines.seppalasleddogs.com/index.htm. Both dogs should have a thorough veterinary check-up about a month before breeding begins. Get them up-to-date on vaccinations and make sure they're free from parasites. Have them screened for brucellosis, which is a disease that can cause infertility.  It's also a good idea to ask the vet to screen both dogs for evidence of hip dysplasia. The bitch should have good muscle tone and should not be overweight. Genetic disorders of the eyes are common in huskies. These disorders can appear at any age, so it is important to have your dogs' eyes checked once a year. Have a screening performed on both dogs prior to breeding.

TL;DR in English: Wait until the female is 2 years old. Breed females with a calm and nurturing temperament. Make sure both dogs are registered with a kennel club. Have a vet perform a physical on both dogs 4 weeks before breeding. Have both dogs' eyes checked by a canine ophthalmologist.

Choose a light gold or peach eyeshadow that has a bit of shimmer. Apply this shade over the whole eyelid with a small makeup brush. Blend the color up towards the eyebrows. Next, choose a darker, natural color such as a chocolate brown. Apply a line of darker eyeshadow to the crease of the eyelid. Using a clean eyeshadow brush, blend the dark line of eyeshadow into the lighter eyeshadow.  When blending with a brush use light, gentle strokes. If you press too hard you may scrub away the eyeshadow. If your child has blond or light brown eyebrows, use a light brown eyeshadow to fill them in. Use a black pencil to line the top and bottom of your child's eye. To line the top lid first ask the child to close their eyes. Gently pull up on the eyebrow and apply the makeup in small strokes, lining the lash line of the eyelid. To line the lower lid, ask the child to look up. Gently pull down on the cheek to put on the lower line.  Be patient and careful while applying the makeup; if you get it in their eyes, they might start watering and mess up the makeup. Have younger child lean against wall or lie on floor to reduce fidgeting. Use black mascara that's not waterproof. Waterproof mascara is very difficult to clean off of a child's face. Gently pull up on eyebrow and ask the child to look down. Apply a thin coat of mascara to the ends of their eyelashes. Let the mascara dry before applying some to the lower lashes. When doing lower lashes, ask the child to look up and gently pull down on their cheek.  Be patient. If you move too quickly or don't let the child blink when they want to they might become uncooperative. It may help to lean the child against a wall to reduce fidgeting. Choose a shade of lipstick and lip liner that's a few shades darker than their natural lip tone. First, line their lips with lip liner by carefully drawing a thin line around the edges of their lips. Next, apply the lipstick. Ask the child to open their mouth in a loose “O” shape and carefully dab the lipstick onto their lips. Blend it all...

In many high school and college courses you will be asked to write a literary commentary. This assignment requires you to evaluate a piece of literature, most often a novel, poem, or play. The key part of a successful commentary is a strong, clear thesis statement.  Your thesis is your argument or your point of view. This is where you take a stance, and spend the rest of the essay supporting your thesis. Maybe you are writing a commentary on Great Expectations. Your thesis could be, “Not only is Dickens’ tale engaging, it is also an insightful commentary on the differences between social classes in industrial Britain.” This will vary considerably depending on how long you want your commentary to be. At its briefest, say for a bulleted or single-paragraph commentary, make note of vital information to include. For longer commentaries, create a structure for your response. You might write at the top of your outline, “Important Themes in Great Expectations”. You could then make bullet points such as “Setting”, “Ambition”, “Class”, etc. An introductory paragraph  will help you to remain focused on the key points as you write. For example, include an introduction where you provide the context for the work and state your thesis, followed by analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, themes, etc. Then wrap up with a short conclusion of the importance of the topic.  You might start by saying, “Great Expectations is full of imagery that makes the reader feel as if they are in 19th century England with Pip. Dickens’ novel about class, ambition, and love sheds important light on the social divides of the time.” You could then list the themes that you will discuss in the body of your commentary. State an issue or theme you've identified, show where you've found it in the work, then explain what effect the issue or theme has on the work. You might feel that Miss Havisham’s obsession with lost love is an important theme in Great Expectations. An excellent specific example to illustrate this theme is pointing out that the...

Some people live life in bitterness or malice, and will spread rumors because they think it will make them feel better about themselves. Others hear information incorrectly and without meaning to harm someone, will spread that information. Either way, rumors aren't usually a sign that you have done something wrong. They usually communicate that the people spreading them are struggling with insecurities or boredom, so don't take it personally.  While this can be difficult to do because some rumors can be very hurtful, just remember that people spread rumors for a reason. Most people who are kind and care about others won't spread malicious rumors to harm someone. Those who spread rumors usually do so because they feel jealousy or envy towards you, or they are upset with their current state in life and want to add some drama to it to make it more interesting. Stay above these rumors and don't encourage them by taking them personally and getting really upset. Some people spread rumors just to get a rise out of someone else. When rumors start to spread about you, act like nothing has happened and that you aren't affected by these lies. This can also help show people that the rumor isn't true, because you think it's so ridiculous that you don't even see a need to be upset about it. When a rumor is told about you, the best thing to do is respond to the rumor quickly. If you allow the rumor to fester and continue to be spread it may become worse or more exaggerated. Talk to the people who you have heard spread the rumor and explain to them that it is false, or go to an authority and let them know that the rumor isn't true.   Some people choose to ignore rumors instead of responding to them. This can be a good option, depending on the extent of the rumor. If the rumor is something so outlandish that very few people actually believe it, it could be good to just ignore it and over time people will stop talking. However, if the rumor is believable or is something that could get you into trouble, you need to address it...

TL;DR in English: Don't take it personally. Respond to the rumor quickly. Find the source of the rumor. Make it known the rumor was false. Understand that it may take time for the rumor to fade.

By examining the degree of cloudiness or clearness in your cat's eyes, you can get a better understanding of how old your cat is.  Clear and bright eyes will indicate that your cat is likely young. Older cats may have cloudy eyes due to age itself or the development of cataracts. The iris is the colorful part of the eye that surrounds the pupil.  By examining the iris, you can learn the approximate age of your cat.  Look for any signs of jaggedness or roughness in the iris as you investigate.  Younger cats will have clean and smooth irises. As cats age, their irises will become thinner and strands will start to appear in the iris, along with pigment patches. A sign of both age and health, the tear ducts in your cat's eyes can be a great place to check up on your cat.  At times, due to either aging, illness, or injury, its eyes may become overly runny.  Runny eyes, as well as injury and illness, are more likely to be found in older cats, which can help you indicate your cat's age.  Younger cats should not have noticeable tears or discharge. Older cats may have apparent tearing or discharge from their eyes. Runny eyes can also be a sign of illness or injury, so check with your veterinarian.

TL;DR in English:


Determine if you are using weighted assignments. Calculate your percentage in each category. Convert those percentages to a number. Add numbers to get your class percentage.

Treat yourself with loving compassion and respect. Instead of telling yourself off, speak to yourself calmly. When negative thoughts and feelings come to you, name them. Say "This is the I'm-too-fat thought," or, "Ah, here comes the 'everyone here knows more than me' thought." When you are praised, say "Thank you." If a compliment is innocent and sincere, it is impolite to reject it. To reject a compliment means missing out on the chance for a positive connection with another, and a positive affirmation for yourself. Let your friends and family affirm you.  If you are feeling truly down on yourself, you can ask someone you love to tell you something they like about you. Go ahead and return the compliment. Some cruelty comes disguised as kindness. Do you have a friend who is always pointing out your shortcomings? Does anyone in your life make fun of you or criticize you in public or in private? When you are proud of something, does anyone try to take you down a notch by acting nonplussed or condescending?  Try to eliminate these people from your life or spend as little time with them as possible. Accept the state you are in before you try making radical changes. If you try to fix yourself without acknowledging your inherent value and loveliness first, you may cause yourself harm. Improving yourself can be fruitful, but you have to love yourself first. Treat yourself like a flourishing garden that needs watering, pruning, planting, and general upkeep: not flood or fire.  If you would like to do better in school, first tell yourself "I am intelligent, hard working, and I have dreams and ambitions. I am capable of doing the work I have set out to do." Do this instead of saying, for example, "I'm too stupid and lazy and I failed my last exam and I will fail the next one." Once you have a positive framework, you can work on your plan of action. When there is something you want to work on, you are not eliminating or hiding a flaw of yours; rather, you are learning new skills.    Instead of "I'm going to stop talking...

TL;DR in English: Avoid self-criticism. Accept affirmation from others. Notice if someone is trying to put you down. Love it before you improve it. Re-frame how you view self-improvement. Recognize unrealistic standards.

Spinach is a cold-hardy crop with wide range of possible planting dates:  Spring harvest: Plant your spinach four to six weeks before the last spring frost. This early crop can "bolt" (grow leggy and bloom), so harvest before you reach 14 hours of sunlight a day for best results. Some cultivars are less likely to bolt than others.  Fall harvest: Plant six to eight weeks before the first fall frost for a more reliable fall crop. Overwinter: Plant spinach in autumn for a small late autumn harvest, followed by a dormant winter period with an early harvest next year. See below for more instructions. Cover the soil of the planting area with a few inches of hay, straw, leaf, or grass mulch to prevent weeds from sprouting. Pulling unwanted weeds may harm the fragile spinach roots, so mulch is a good alternative for weed control. If you live in a particularly hot climate, consider using cold frames or heavy row covers to keep the soil cool during hot summer days. Also be sure to sow extra seeds and water twice daily if growing in hot weather.

TL;DR in English: Decide when to plant your spinach. Spread mulch over the planting area. Adapt to hot weather.

Your teacher may be using a weighted grading system. This means that your work will still have points, but those points will be worth different amounts based on what category it falls into. Common categories include homework, tests, quizzes, final exam, and participation.  Each category will be worth a certain percentage of your grade. To get a good grade, you will need to score all or a majority of the points in each category. However, scoring fewer points in a category which is only worth a small percentage of your grade will not affect your grade as much as if the category was worth a large percentage. For ease of calculating, we will assume that each category is worth a number of point equal to its percentage weight (For example, a category worth 20% will be worth 20 points). This should make the total number of “points” for the class equal 100, which should make it significantly easier to calculate your grade. Different teachers will prioritize different things in their class, based on their philosophy of teaching and what they believe is most important. For example, some teachers will most heavily weight the final exam, whereas others will most heavily weight participation. Using the same method discussed above, figure out your point percentage for each category. Think of it like figuring out your grade, but just for homework or just for your quizzes. If you are trying to figure out how you will do in the overall class, you will have to guess how well you will do on the work you have not completed. Multiply that percentage score by the number for the category to find out how many points you earned for that category. For example, if you earned 95% in a category weighted at 20% (.95 x 20 = 19), you will earn 19 points for that category. Add the resulting numbers for each category to find out your percentage for the class. This can then be compared against the chart below to find your letter grade.

Once your contact lens is removed, it should be safely stored until you need to use it again.  Many people simply top off old solution when storing your lens. As solution is meant to disinfect, it can become contaminated with use. Dump out old solution and replace with it with a fresh dose.  Close the lids of the contact case tightly and place the case in a safe place in your home until you need to use your lenses again. Different contact lenses need to be removed for different durations. Some can be worn overnight, while some cannot. Talk to your eye doctor about how often you need to remove and store lenses. While contacts are fairly easy once you're accustomed to caring for them, there are some difficulties associated with their removal. These can be easily remedied.  If you have trouble keeping your eyes open when removing contacts, use one hand to hold the upper lid and eyelashes while you work.  If you have difficulty sliding lenses, stare in the mirror and keep your gaze steady. If you lose eye contact, your eyes have moved meaning the lenses positions have shifted.  Be careful about rubbing your eyes with contacts in. This can damage the lenses and cause irritation to your eyes. Contacts do not last forever. Lenses come with a specific expiration date, related to the type of lens you wear. Ask your doctor how long lenses will last when being prescribed contacts. If you do not remember the information, check the box for instructions on when to discard lenses.

TL;DR in English: Store your contacts. Learn about solutions to contact related challenges. Familiarize yourself with your contacts expiration date.

Trying something new requires courage and may show you a new side of yourself and your partner. You might find that you enjoy something you never knew you could enjoy, or discover something about your partner you’ve never noticed. Adding a new experience can help you feel closer and help you bond over the new experience.  For example, try a boxing class, race go karts, or try a dance class. Use your knowledge from your intimate talks to come up with activities you would both enjoy. Alternatively, you could try something that is special to one of you. A little adrenaline can help you feel more attracted to your partner and increase feelings of intimacy. Try doing something fun and maybe even a little risky together. For example, try skydiving, rock climbing, or zip lining. While you don’t want to be scared for too long, it can be fun to do something with a small fear factor to encourage you and your partner to turn toward each other. Knowing you can rely on your partner for emotional support can help you feel close to them and trust them to be there for you. For example, go to a haunted house or take a walk in the dark together. Take a trip down memory lane and open yourself up to exposing a younger version of yourself to your partner. Looking at pictures of your childhood and the people that were important to you is a very intimate act. When you discuss the things that mattered to you and the events and people that led you to become who you are, you reveal a lot of vulnerabilities to your partner.  Show your partner around your hometown and talk about memories from growing up. Then, ask them to do the same for you. Family stuff can be difficult to discuss, but try to answer all of their questions.

The hormones needed to grow big, bulky muscles come with puberty, so do not push a child to lift weights or start training plans when they cannot even reap the rewards. Kids will start to build muscle naturally as teenagers, but kids should be focused less on growing muscles and more on being healthy. Weightlifting, body building, and power lifting can all be very dangerous to a child’s still-developing muscles. Strength training, however, is focused on proper technique and safety instead of lifting the biggest piece of metal you can. Weightlifting as a child can damage a kid’s growth plates, which are pieces of cartilage still turning into bone, injuring a child for life. Make a distinction between increasing muscle strength and “bulking up.” Talk to them about the benefits of having lean muscles such as a healthy weight, improved performance in sports, and higher self-esteem. Let them know that it is impossible to "bulk up" a lot of muscle before puberty. If a child can follow directions well and expresses interest in getting stronger, you can safely begin a light workout plan as early as 7 years old. If a child is ready to play organized sports, they are generally ready to start a strength program.

This will begin the first phase: hop. Generally, you will want to use your dominant foot. Get a running start (lasting about 17-18 strides) so you can forcefully jump off the board. Pull your opposite foot up behind you.  Make sure not to run beyond the board during your hop, as doing so is considered a foul.  For the hop and skip, you will begin your jump with the same foot. While you are airborne during the hop, skip, and jump, never let your hands drop lower than your chest or higher than your chin. Move both arms forward, as if you are grabbing something in front of you. If your arms are too high, you are more likely to fall out of position when you hit the ground. Don't position your arms behind your back. Doing so will slow you down during takeoff and landing. During the hop and step, you will land with your dominant foot flat or roll from heel to toe. Do not put too much pressure on either your heel or toes. Once you've touched the ground, roll forward onto the balls of your feet and prepare for the step. Again with your dominant foot, jump with your back leg extended behind the body. You will keep your your back leg's heel up to prepare for the landing. Land with your back leg forward to complete the step and prepare for the final phase: jump.  Keep your knee high and parallel to your hips for correct form.  For the step, your goal is to get off the ground as soon as possible. During the jump, you will leap with your opposite (formerly back foot). By this point, you will be close to the sandpit. Bring both feet together with your knees parallel to your chest as you jump into the pit. Unlike the first two steps, land the jump with your heels first.

TL;DR in English: Run up to the board and jump. Keep your arms extended in front of your body. Hit the ground with your foot flat. Start your step with the same foot. Begin the final phase (jumping) with your opposite foot.

Wear clothes that make you feel confident. This will vary depending on the situation you're in. If you're in a formal setting, you should dress up in a suit or a formal dress and nice shoes. If you're in a more casual environment, wear whatever clothes make you feel confident and comfortable. Regardless of the setting, clean, wrinkle-free clothing will always make a good impression. Make sure that you groom your hair and bathe before you go to a networking or social event. If you have bad breath or you smell bad, people won't want to be around you. Brush your teeth, chew gum, or eat breath mints to prevent bad breath. You can wear underarm deodorant or perfume to smell good. Make sure that you know what the event is and who will be there. This will give you an idea of the type of conversations you might be having and the people you should target. You'll most likely want to talk to people in your field of work or study, or people that can help advance your career. If you can get a hold of a guest list, you should do some research on the web on the people who will be there. Don't put others down, ridicule others, or talk about how you're better than others. This comes off as arrogant and will give off a bad impression. Instead, act like you're sure of yourself and your abilities but don't talk about it constantly.

A striped or high-contrast, patterned tie won’t look good with an Eldredge knot. Because there are so many folds in the knot, a striped or patterned tie will just look like a jumbled mess. Solid colored ties are the best option for an Eldredge knot. Make sure you have your collar raised when you drape the tie around your neck. Let the tie hang so that the wide end is on your right and the narrow end is on your left. Make sure the seams are facing inward. Adjust the tie so that the wide end is hanging down where you want it when you finish. Most people prefer the tip of the tie to hang just above the waistline. Start by pinching the wide end with your left hand to make a dimple. Then, when pulling the narrow end across, try to make it as perpendicular to the wide end as you can, so that you end up with a cross shape. You don’t need to move the wide end of the tie when tying an Eldredge Knot. When wrapping the narrow end behind the wide end from right to left, make it as perpendicular to the wide end as you can. Pinching the spot where the narrow end crossed over the front of the wide end will help you keep the crossing tight. Practice in front of a mirror so you can see your progress from another angle.

TL;DR in English: Choose a plain tie for an Eldredge knot. Drape the tie around your open collar. Cross the narrow end over the front of the wide end. Wrap the narrow end around the back of the wide end.

Class will be much more stressful if you don’t bring everything you’re supposed to. Make sure to bring your textbooks, pencils, homework, paper, and anything else you will need to be prepared.  It’s easier to have fun in class when there is no unnecessary stress. Being prepared for class will also show your teacher your seriousness about the subject, which can improve relations, and in turn, make class more enjoyable for both parties. Bring a few extra pens and paper to lend out to other students who may have forgotten their supplies. Personalizing your supplies and locker can make class more enjoyable. Cover your folders with stickers or drawings. Bring cute erasers for the tops of your pencils.  Put pictures of your friends and family into binders. Add any decoration that you enjoy looking at, as long as it’s allowed in the classroom. You can also ask your teacher if it’s possible to help decorate the classroom for holidays like Halloween and Valentine’s Day. It’s not likely that this is something you can do regularly, but occasionally bringing things to pass out to class can liven the mood. First, ask the permission of your teacher. If it’s okay with them, you can bake cookies to pass out to your classmates, or bring another snack that can be enjoyed by everyone. Coordinate with your friends to take turns bringing treats to class.  Ask your classmates if anyone has any food allergies before choosing a treat to bring. Bring healthy snacks like banana bread and popcorn cups.

Feed geese leafy greens. Feed geese other acceptable foods. Do not feed geese processed foods. Do not feed geese dairy products. Feed geese bite-sized portions.

Crack the eggs you wish to freeze and pour the whites into a freezer-safe airtight container. Sift out the yolks—these should be placed in a separate container. Take care not to puncture the yolks while cracking and sifting the eggs.  Protect separated egg yolks by refrigerating them in a bowl cold water.  Storing the white and yolks separately will make them easier to use as needed in culinary projects. Alternately, you can just as easily freeze whole eggs without the need to separate them first. Simply whip the eggs until they’re completely integrated, then transfer them to the freezing container. When properly frozen, whole eggs will usually stay fresh for up to a year. Freezing eggs whole can be a more space-effective storage solution. Eggs yolks have a tendency to harden into a thick gel when frozen. You can avoid this by mixing in a small amount of salt or sugar, which will keep the yolks from congealing. These additives make it more difficult for the proteins in the yolks to bond and solidify in low temperatures.  Generally, you should aim to incorporate about ⅛  teaspoon of salt and 1 ½ teaspoons of sugar for every ¼ cup of eggs (about four large eggs).  Use salt for eggs that are destined for savory dishes and sugar for those that will go into desserts and other sweet confections. As previously mentioned, the container you choose to freeze eggs should be one with a lid that makes it completely airtight. Otherwise, moisture may enter or escape from the container, potentially ruining the eggs. A lidded piece of Tupperware or similar container will work best for this purpose.  If you happen to run low on spare storage containers, you can portion the yolks or white into an ordinary ice cube tray.  Freezer bags aren’t recommended, as they can easily burst and create a mess. Should you be forced to use a freezer bag, make sure it’s securely sealed and that you’ve pressed out all excess air before closing it.

TL;DR in English: Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the eggs together. Add a pinch of sugar or salt. Freeze in an airtight container.

Many bad investments involve unregistered securities. These include stocks, bonds, hedge funds and more. Do your research. In the U.S., you can check with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to see if something is a registered investment. The contact information is as follows:  North American Securities Administrators Association or (202) 737-0900. You can also check the website at: https://www.sec.gov/.  Ask the promoters of an investment if they are licensed to sell that type of investment. Contact a state commission office, a state's Secretary of State, a Corporations Commission or  Securities Commission. A business should be registered with one of these entities. Stay away from investments with no documentation. That is a sign that it may be unregistered. If a person is pressuring you into investing as soon as possible, beware. It is not common practice for legitimate brokers or other people who help investors to be aggressive in their sales practices. People who push too hard may have a hidden agenda.  Remember to be cautious when considering any investment. Once you give someone your money, you may not get it back. Make sure the salesperson and the company or firm he represents have never had any problems with criminal activity. Make sure both have a clean record. You don’t want to be involved with people or companies that don’t have a good reputation. They have not done business “by the books” in the past, they probably won’t when it comes to handling your money. Remember that people operate under aliases. It is important to find out someone’s true identity. Do not trust the claim that a number of seemingly reputable people have already invested money. This is a tactic used to get you to feel that you can invest safely because others have already done so. People who use this tactic will also tell you that these people are making money off of their investments. Here, an offer of a favor like selling to you at a lower price is made in exchange for you to buy now. You need to ask yourself why...

TL;DR in English: Check to see if a product is registered. Avoid pushy salespeople. Check for a criminal record. Take note when the investments of others are mentioned. Pay attention to offers to do something to get you to invest. Do not fall for the urgency tactic. Be suspicious of someone claiming to be of significant importance.

The goose’s natural diet is heavy in tender grasses plants. In winter months, especially, the vegetation geese need for a healthy diet is rare.  Giving them spinach, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, and chard will keep them happy and healthy.  Geese may find other vegetables like carrots, green beans, and celery amenable as well. Veggies like broccoli and potatoes make geese happy too, but may need to be steamed and fed in a warm (not hot) state before the geese can digest them. Whole grain breads, whole oats, lentils, brown rice, small seeds, and split peas are some of the foods geese enjoy.  Additionally, unprocessed popcorn (free of additives, salt, and butter) and small seeds like sunflower seeds make good snacks for geese.  You can also feed geese foods that occur naturally in their environment such as small fish, mollusks, and crustaceans.  Assorted vegetable/fruit scraps are also welcome. Geese do not like alfalfa and cannot eat raw potato peelings. If we, as humans, shouldn’t eat it, geese definitely shouldn’t eat it.  Things like white bread, candy, junk food, fast food, chips, and anything with high levels of salt, sugar, and fat should not be fed to geese. Young geese (less than 6 weeks old) who are given high-protein or carb-heavy foods regularly may develop angel wing, a condition which causes their wings to develop in an unnatural way and inhibits their ability to fly. Avoid feeding geese milk, yogurt, or baked goods containing milk.  Geese are lactose intolerant.  Consumption of dairy may lead to diarrhea and dehydration, which could in turn lead to death. Do not give food to geese in portions too large for them to swallow.  Their throats are much smaller than ours and they have no teeth with which to chew their food, so it is important that you provide food in bits no bigger than one to two square inches.

Doing so will help you fully appreciate how far your wires will need to stretch, allowing you to adjust the speakers as needed before you connect everything. If you're connecting more than two speakers, you'll need to connect the speakers to each other with speaker wire before proceeding. Skip this step if you're connecting a soundbar. To attach your speakers to the receiver:  Connect the white RCA cable to the white port on the back of the left speaker, then plug it into a white port on the back of the receiver. Connect the red RCA cable to the red port on the back of the right speaker, then plug it into a red port below or next to the white port on the back of the receiver. If you're setting up a soundbar or subwoofer, you'll need to attach the power cable that came with the speaker(s) to the back, side, or front of the speaker in question and then plug the other end into a power source (e.g., a wall outlet or a surge protector). Plug one end of the receiver's optical or HDMI cable into the appropriately labeled port on the back of the receiver, then plug the other end of the cable into the optical or HDMI port on your TV.  If your receiver is old enough, you may end up using RCA cables to attach it to the TV instead. If you're using an adapter (e.g., for a headphone jack), plug it into your TV before connecting the other ends of the cables here. This can be a wall socket or a surge protector. Make sure that the power cable is firmly attached to both the power outlet and the receiver. Your stereo system is now all set up. You may have to change your TV's audio output to use the speakers.

See Warnings. There's a reason it's called the prickly pear cactus.  Find pads that are bright green and firm. Small, young pads harvested in early spring are thought to be the most succulent, delicate in flavor, and have the fewest spines. The thicker a pad, the older it is. Older pads tend to be stringy and their sap will be thicker, which some people find unpleasant. Leave those for other species who use them as survival food during lean foraging seasons. The tender pads are sometimes sold as "baby nopales". If you're harvesting them yourself, wear extremely heavy gloves or use tongs. Snap the pads off the plant or cut at the stem. Cutting at the stem reduces stress on the pad, and allows the cactus to recover more quickly than snapping or tearing the pad away. This helps keep your cactus plant healthy for future harvests. Don't take off the gloves until the pads are completely rinsed and the peeled remnants are cleared. The pads not only have large spines, but there are also tiny, invisible and far more irritating spines called glochids that are extremely difficult to remove from the skin.  The spines and glochids can also be removed from the prickly pear pads by burning them off with a small torch or by placing the pad on a gas burner and turning it with tongs. See Warnings. Peel or cut off any discolorations or bruises.  . They can be either boiled or grilled, as well as mixed with other ingredients to make unique, satisfying and healthy dishes.  If you boil the nopales, you may sometimes have to drain and re-boil them once or twice, depending on how thick the sap is. The thicker the pad, the thicker the sap. Boiling them with a copper coin (an old Mexican "veinte") is a common remedy to thin the sap and make it more palatable to unaccustomed diners. The boiled nopales are then drained, washed off with cold water and served as a salad with finely diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro and jalapeños and seasoned with vinegar, salt and lime juice. If you grill the nopales, you might want to coat generously with...

TL;DR in English: Buy or forage some prickly pear pads. Remove the spines from the pad by using a vegetable peeler or a paring knife. Run the pad under cool water. Slice or cut the pads (wipe the knife blade after each slice, as there can be small spines sticking to it), or leave them whole, depending on what you will be using the nopales for. Cook the nopales

While you normally don't want to let kids have unlimited time on their tablets or video game consoles, if they'll be out of school for a while, it's probably a good idea to be a little more relaxed about the rules. Not only will that help your children pass the time quietly, but it might help them see social distancing as fun, rather than stressful and scary.  Try downloading fun, educational apps like ABCmouse to help younger children learn reading and math skills, or Duolingo to help older students learn a new language.  Keep in mind that some apps will require a subscription, but you may also be able to find free apps or some with free trials. Creating art is a fun way to pass the time for people of all ages. Even better, it can help you find a creative way to express some of the emotions that you might be experiencing during a stressful situation like an illness outbreak. And don't be afraid to get messy, since you'll have plenty of time for cleanup. There are tons of ways that you can make art, including painting, drawing, writing stories, making music, sculpting, or even creating tie-dye! While cleaning might not seem like the most fun way to spend your time, it can actually be very good for you mentally. If you have children, get them involved, too—seeing a project through to the end can give them a sense of purpose and accomplishment. For instance, you might clean all of your windows, pull weeds from the garden, or organize your attic to while away an afternoon. Getting plenty of physical activity is as important as your mind as it is for your body, so if you're able, try to spend some time every day exercising, and encourage everyone in your home to do the same. That might be as simple as kicking a ball around outside if you're able to go out, or you could have a quick dance party inside if you need to stay in.  Exercise is an excellent way to burn off some of the stress of social distancing. In addition to getting your heart rate up, make sure you're also getting up and stretching regularly...

TL;DR in English: Ease up on your screen time restrictions. Work on craft projects together. Take on a spring cleaning project. Exercise for 15-30 minutes a day. Play outside. Have children complete any schoolwork that's assigned to them. Try a virtual museum tour for a fun way to learn something new.

This may mean that you need medical intervention immediately to treat the infection or prevent you from losing too much blood. Signs to watch for include:  Sudden, extreme swelling at the site where the catheter entered your body. It is important that an active infection get treated quickly to prevent it from spreading to your heart and other vital organs. Bleeding that does not stop. If lying down and pressing on the wound for several minutes does not cause the wound to clot and stop bleeding, get immediate medical attention. The emergency medical responders will be able to help you stop the bleeding. If you have the following signs you should speak to a doctor immediately. He may recommend that you have someone drive you to the emergency room. Any of the following symptoms indicate that your wound needs care:  Numbness or tingling in the arm or leg where the catheter was inserted. Increasing bruising. This would suggest that you might have bleeding under the skin. Swelling or drainage at the site of the wound. Fever. The doctor will probably want you to wash the site daily to prevent infections. You may have a bruise, slight swelling, pinkness, and / or a small lump about a half an inch in diameter at the place where the catheter was inserted. Your doctor may recommend:  Changing the bandage daily. If you require more than a simple Band Aid, the nurse in the hospital will teach you how to do it before you are discharged. Washing gently with soap and water. Do not scrub because this could open the wound. Not putting any other medications, lotions, or ointments on the site unless instructed to do so by your doctor. You can help promote healing by keeping the wound clean and dry. In addition, there are several things you can do to reduce the likelihood of getting an infection or reopening the wound. The length of time your doctor wants you to remain quiet may depend upon your health condition and particular medical history. Your doctor may give you the following instructions:  Do not take a bath, go in a...

TL;DR in English:


Release your choke hold after 10 seconds unless you’re in immediate danger. Don’t restrict your opponent’s airflow and only apply pressure to the arteries. Stop choking your opponent if they tap on your forearm while you’re choking them. Avoid using the choke hold on someone with cardiovascular issues.

Remain calm. Acknowledge the possible offense in order to let it go. Resist passing judgment. Search for alternative meanings and motivations. Be aware of your energy level. Reply with grace. Consider outcomes. Use positive self-talk

This project can easily get messy, so make sure to protect the area around you. You can use a sheet of plastic, a canvas drop cloth, a piece of cardboard, or even an old sheet to catch any spills. Some good areas to paint include outdoors, on cement or blacktop, or on a flat surface indoors, such as a table or hardwood floor. For your base, choose a stretched canvas in whatever size you would like. To achieve the smooth, blended look of an ombre painting, you'll also need some flat, wide-bristle brushes. Though you can adjust your brush sizes based on the size of your canvas, 2 in (5.1 cm) or 3 in (7.6 cm) brushes often work well with most sizes.  For example, you could start by experimenting on small canvases, which include 4 by 6 inches (10 by 15 cm) or 5 by 7 inches (13 by 18 cm). Medium-sized canvases are perfect for hanging and displaying. They can range from 8 by 10 inches (20 by 25 cm) to 12 by 16 inches (30 by 41 cm). Large canvases make for eye-catching statement pieces. They often range in size from 18 by 24 inches (46 by 61 cm) to 36 by 48 inches (91 by 122 cm). Make sure to use acrylic paint that you can paint with straight out of the tube. Once you've chosen the 2 paint colors you'll be using, pour them next to each other onto your palette. Leave some space for mixing the 2 colors together. Adjust the amounts of paint depending on the size of canvas you'll be using.  For example, if you're painting an 8 by 10 inches (20 by 25 cm) canvas, you'll likely need to squeeze out a 2 inches (5.1 cm) circle of each paint color on your palette.  For a simple, authentic ombre effect, only use 2 colors. Adding in extra colors makes the mixing complicated, and the result won't have a true ombre effect. You can use a cheap plastic palette, paper plate, square of glass, or ceramic plate for a palette. Keep in mind that a disposable palette can make the clean-up process a lot easier! A retarder is an agent that you can add to the paint to slow its drying time and make it easier to blend. Acrylic paint dries very...

TL;DR in English: Lay down a drop cloth or piece of cardboard to keep the area clean. Choose a canvas size and some flat paint brushes. Squeeze out a large amount of each acrylic paint color onto your palette. Mix a few drops of retarder into the paint to slow the drying process.

Unless you’re actively being attacked, release your choke hold after 10 seconds. 15 seconds is the maximum amount of time that you can apply pressure to the neck without risking permanent damage. If you’ve correctly applied pressure to the neck’s major arteries, your opponent should go limp after 5-9 seconds. If you apply too much pressure to your opponent’s throat, you run the risk of damaging their windpipe. The goal of a sleeper hold is to restrict blood flow, not air, so only use force on the sides of your opponent’s neck. The universal sign of surrender in martial combat is a light double-tap on an exposed section of your skin. This means that your opponent is giving up. Release your grip immediately if your opponent taps on your forearm while you’re choking them.  You will see mixed martial artists do this when they’ve been placed in a submission hold that they can’t get out of. This is where the term “tap out” comes from. The sleeper choke hold restricts blood flow to the brain. This means that individuals with heart or blood pressure problems can suffer a serious cardiac event if their blood flow is disrupted. Never perform this move on someone struggling with cardiovascular problems.

TL;DR in English: Release your choke hold after 10 seconds unless you’re in immediate danger. Don’t restrict your opponent’s airflow and only apply pressure to the arteries. Stop choking your opponent if they tap on your forearm. Avoid using the choke hold on someone with cardiovascular issues.

Allow time to pass before responding to someone you feel is offending you. If you are too easily offended, it has probably become an automatic response for you. This means that there is no time between feeling offended and responding as if you’ve been hurt. So, make time to pause and question whether or not you want to take offense.  If the emotions are running too high to just pause, try counting to ten in your head. Learning and practicing mindfulness exercises regularly will make this step easy as pie. Mindfulness involves learning how to strategically detach from strong emotions so that more measured responses can be formulated.  One mindfulness exercise is to spend time focusing on your breath. When you attend to the sensation of your breath coming and going, you gain a stronger connection to your feelings rather than pesky, automatic thoughts. When letting go of a habitual response like taking offense, there’s no use trying to shut out your knee-jerk thoughts. Instead of ignoring what your mind is telling you, listen to it. That way you can determine for yourself whether or not to purse the offense and make a scene.  If someone says that your haircut might not be the best style for you, your head might be screaming “Oh no she didn’t! Give her a piece of your mind!” Hear this anger and feel your urge to lash out in response. This way you can see that as just one of many possible ways that you could respond. It’s also important to see how angry you feel inside so that you can gauge your next move. For example, if you feel enraged then you may not want to respond humorously (since humor in your state might not be perceived as humor at all). Being certain of our interpretation of what a person means or where she is coming from can turn anything into an offense. Consider great works of art; their beauty comes from the possibility of many different interpretations. No interpretation is right, but each one has the power to make us feel differently.  Imagine that an acquaintance just told you that they decided...

Each person’s experience with grief is different. That means that no level of expertise will equip you to tell the person in mourning how he should respond. Your role is to provide company, listen, and validate their feelings.  Don’t tell, listen. Constantly reinforce that their response is normal and natural. Encourage them to use their own skills to cope with grief. If they are an artist, encourage them to use this ability to express his feelings. Help them understand and recognize their feelings. Help them develop a schedule that allows them to manage their daily tasks while reducing unnecessary outside stressors. Remember that your job is to be there, not to take away the pain. That is impossible. Your job is to support them, not to try to fix them. It is important to make it clear that you understand the person's feelings. Be sure that they know that such feelings are natural and that people experience grief differently. It might be useful to explain some of the common responses to grief and make it clear that they are natural.  Those who experience instrumental grief focus on problem solving and try to control emotional responses. Those who experience intuitive grieving have intense emotional experiences that might include depression and thoughts about mortality.  It is common for people to blame themselves, feel anger, hopelessness, anxiety, and withdrawal from the world. Don’t ask leading questions or “yes” and “no” questions. Ask big, broad questions, that encourage him to think about his feelings and explore the subjects that he is interested in. Make it clear that you want to know what he feels, but are not questioning the validity of his feelings.  Do not ask “why” questions. These make it sound as if you do not understand or support his feelings.

A smart buyer knows that they have the inherent bargaining edge if they choose to use it: being willing to walk away. A person who isn't willing to walk away from a deal — at any point in the negotiation process — is likely a person who will overpay for their car. A smart dealer may try draw out the process, making you feel like you've invested a good amount of time in a car, and that walking away is the same thing as abandoning that investment. Don't fall for that trap. Know that any time you spend researching or negotiating, even if the negotiation falls apart, is an investment in itself and will eventually pay off. Car dealerships know that they can generally make money off of people who decide to lease a car. The prevailing myth that leasing a car is always bad isn't quite accurate; if you plan on keeping the car for less than three years, it's an okay deal. But if you want to hold onto your car for a good deal of time, paying that lease will usually leave you worse off than if you negotiated to buy the car. If you do decide to take a car on a test drive, keep your emotions in check. Dealers know that people get emotionally attached to cars when they take them for a test drive. When a customer is emotionally attached to a car, they are far likelier to overspend because they are less willing to walk away from a bad deal. Some things you can do during a test drive to control your enthusiasm:  Ask the salesperson for quiet, if necessary. During a test drive, a good salesperson will keep talking about all the features and amenities of a car, trying to convince you it's the best deal. They're trying to get you emotionally attached, do not fall for this trick. If the salesperson won't give it a rest, ask them for silence point blank. Bring your somebody else with you on the drive. Your companion will help you remain analytical and focused on the task of extracting the best possible value for the car. They could also be another BS radar, if the salesperson tries to pull a fast one. Take your time and nitpick. If...

TL;DR in English: Be willing to walk away at any point in time. If you plan on keeping the car for a good while, forget about leasing. Ace the test drive.

Paint and stain won’t adhere to a glossy or dirty base, so it is important to sand down the cabinets prior to painting them. If you have a block sander or an electric sander, now would be the time to use it. Use 100-grit sandpaper to smooth down the entire surface of each cabinet; sand until the wood looks dull/matte. As you’ll surely find out, sanding can be messy business. Before moving onto the fun part of the project, it is necessary to clean off the newly-sanded cabinets. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to wipe down the surface of each of the cabinets until there is no sawdust in sight. . If you decided to go for a base color or stain other than the original color, now is the time to apply it. Paint on a layer of paint or stain to each of the cabinets, and wait the package-directed curing time for it to dry. Follow this up with a second coat of paint or stain to finish the job. Wait for the paint to dry completely until moving on to the antiquing process. The moment you’ve been waiting for: antiquing your cabinets. Dip your paintbrush into the antiquing glaze and wipe off the excess stain, to prevent dripping. Brush over the parts of the cabinet you want the antique effect applied to, using a very light coat. Then, use a clean, dry, lint-free rag to wipe off the stain. The result should be some areas of the wood appearing worn and old, without looking fake or dark. When you brush on the glaze, go in the direction of the grain of the wood. Repeat this process of brushing on antiquing glaze and wiping it off, over all of your cabinets. Try to add equal amounts of the antiquing glaze to each cabinets, so that you maintain uniformity across all the wood. Follow the package directions for drying time. . Although you don’t have to, some people like to add a distressed effect to their cabinets to make them appear even more worn and ‘vintage’. There are a number of ways of doing so, including sanding down the wood over the top of the fresh antiquing glaze, using a hammer to hit the wood and create dents, and lightly...

Use citrus fruit peels. Use baking soda and vinegar. Rinse with a little bleach. Use Borax.

A French kiss shouldn’t just come out of nowhere. It should happen naturally at a time when two people are sharing an intimate and private moment together, and that means being physically close. To help set the mood, start by finding a way to be alone with the person so you can get close without other people hanging around and interrupting.   If you two are at a party, go for a walk or find somewhere quiet that you can talk. If you're hanging out together, sit down beside the person on a couch, chair, or bench. You can tell your partner that you're interested without saying anything at all. Your partner will subconsciously pick up on your subtle cues, and this will indicate your attraction and desire. You can drop these hints by:  Parting your lips slightly and licking them Smoothing down your hair or clothing Raising your eyebrows slightly as your partner talks Touching your face frequently Orienting your entire body toward your partner Smile a lot Eye contact is another powerful element of body language, and when two people are physically close to each other and make frequent eye contact, this will raise the level of intimacy between them. Frequent eye contact will indicate your attraction, and help you assess whether the chemistry you feel is reciprocated.   For instance, if your partner keeps looking away instead of making eye contact, it’s possible that person is just nervous, but it might also be a sign of lack of interest. On the other hand, if your partner keeps locking eyes with you, this is a good sign that whatever you're feeling is definitely mutual! This gentle and sensual touch will establish a physical connection between the two of you, and make the kiss much easier. Make sure you gage how the person reacts:   Leaning in or pressing into your hand is a sign of interest that says your gesture is welcome. Pulling away is a sign that physical contact isn't welcome. Don’t forget to offer some to your partner. Not only will this ensure fresh breath and a pleasant kiss, but it’s also another great...

TL;DR in English: Get close. Use your body language to flirt. Make frequent eye contact. Brush the person’s cheek. Grab some gum or mints.

The equipment for tetherball is relatively simple. Each court is composed of a ball on a rope attached to a ten foot pole. The court is divided into two sides, one for each player, that should evenly divide the pole in half. Your goal when playing tetherball is to hit the ball with your hand in a way that gets it past your opponent so that the rope winds completely around the tetherball pole. The tetherball court is divided in half and is usually marked off by chalk or a line in the cement. If there are no markers for the side boundaries, be sure to ask other players. You will be expected to stay on your side of the court while facing your opponent. Going off-sides will result in the offending player getting a penalty. Opposite of soccer rules, tetherball requires you to only touch the ball with your hands. Touching the ball with another part of your body can result in a penalty against you. Open, closed, or double handed strikes are allowed - use what works best for you! A popular house rule, sometimes called "beach tetherball," allows for the use of any part of the body during play. Using the rope, a player can launch the ball in a way that makes it difficult for opposing players to return. This is why touching the rope is considered an illegal move. Touching the tetherball pole is also illegal and will result in the immediate loss of the game for the player who touched it. A common house rule allows players to hold the rope where it meets the ball only when serving. This might seem obvious, but violating this rule can be tempting. By holding the ball for a split second, you can redirect it out of the reach of your opponent, which is illegal and referred to as "carrying."  All contact between you and the ball should result in it bouncing off your hands right away, otherwise it is considered a rule violation. Unless a house rule says otherwise, serves must also be hit and not thrown or "carried." Each time the ball crosses onto your side of the court, you are allowed a single hit. The one exception to this...

TL;DR in English: Know your goal. Stay on your side. Use your hands. Avoid touching the rope or pole. Strike the ball to return it to your opponent. Make your hits count. Ask other players about house rules. Award penalties for breaking the rules. Pole drop the tetherball for double violations.

A great natural way to freshen up your garbage disposal and leave your kitchen smelling great is to grind up a handful of citrus peels. Any citrus fruit will do -- orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime. The citric acid in the peels will clean the blades and eliminate odors. Afterwards, add some spice, rosemary oil, or lavender oil for an even fresher scent. Baking soda and vinegar make a great odor-busting combo. Sprinkle half a cup of baking soda into the drain, then gently pour a cup of white vinegar on top. The mixture will fizzle and bubble. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it down with very hot or boiling water, with the garbage disposal running. Bleach is very effective at killing germs and will quickly freshen up your drain., however you don't want to use too much of it as it can also harden any grease in your disposal unit, making it difficult to remove.  Dilute a tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach in a gallon of water and slowly pour it into your garbage disposal. Allow the bleach to sit there for a minute or two, then turn on the hot water tap and leave it running for several minutes to flush away the bleach. Borax is a safe and natural cleaning product which will effectively clean the garbage disposal and minimize odors. Simply put 3 or 4 tablespoon of Borax into the garbage disposal and allow to sit for about an hour. Then flush away with very hot or boiling water.

It’s best to practice on an empty stomach. However, if you're starving to the point where you feel weak or fuzzy-headed, eat something light like a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, or a small cup of yogurt about 20 minutes beforehand. You can always eat a nutritious feast afterward! Stick to whole foods without a lot of oils, trans fats, or simple carbs because these will make you feel sluggish and may cause your belly to be upset. Keep your portion sizes in check before you practice because eating too much can make it uncomfortable to breathe deeply into your belly. Whether you need to go or not, it's a good idea to use the restroom before you sit down to meditate because yoga can stimulate your bowels and bladder. That way, you're more comfortable and you won't have to pause your session to use the bathroom. Do any cleansing rituals like washing your hands, feet, or face if that helps you relax.  If you do have to get up to use the restroom, do so. Be gentle with yourself (i.e., don’t judge yourself for having to pause) and take care of your body’s needs. Yoga poses that open up your hips, sides, and belly are especially helpful if you have irritable bowel disorder or other gastrointestinal issues.

TL;DR in English: Don't eat a heavy meal before you plan to practice. Use the bathroom and wash your hands, feet, and face if you like.

There are many signs and symptoms of scabies. The most common and earliest one is intense itching.  The itching represents sensitization, a type of allergic reaction, to the adult female mites, their eggs, and their waste. Itching tends to be more severe at night and has the potential to interrupt the sleep of infested individuals. Along with the itching, you may develop a rash. The rash also represents an allergic reaction to the mite. The rash is typically described as pimple-like with surrounding inflammation and redness.  Mites prefer to burrow into the skin in certain parts of the body.  The most common places that adults can have an itchy rash associated with scabies are the hands, especially the webbing between the fingers, the skin folds of the wrist, elbow, or knee, the buttocks, the waist, the penis, the skin around the nipples, the armpits, the shoulder blades, and the breasts.  In children, the most common sites of infestation include the scalp, face, neck, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. When you have scabies, tiny burrows are sometimes visible on the skin. These appears as tiny raised and crooked grayish-white or skin-colored lines on the surface of the skin. They are usually a centimeter or more in length. Burrows may be difficult to find as most people have only 10 to 15 mites in an average infestation. The intense itching caused by scabies sometimes leads to sores on the skin. The sores are at high risk for infection, which is often a complication of scabies. The sores are most often infected with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, or beta-hemolytic streptococci, which predominate on the skin.   These bacteria can also lead to inflammation of the kidneys and sometimes sepsis, which is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the blood.  To avoid this, try to be gentle on your skin and do not scratch it. If you can't help yourself, consider wearing mittens or wrapping your fingertips with band-aids to keep yourself from damaging the skin. Keep your nails trimmed short. Signs...
